China SIM

June 18, 2013

Reviewer:

My husband and I are now back from China and have to report that the one SIM card we purchased worked really well and had no problems with it.

As instructed, I made the initial phone call once in China and that registered it and then I texted the appropriate codes for the data pack as instructed and it immediately worked. I had topped up the SIM card by Ezitop before we left Australia to cater for the level of data I needed. I had plenty of voice calls available to me but once I was in Hong Kong, I did not have enough for data but was only there 4 days so it was no problems.

I had downloaded any apps I needed before I left so I didn't waste any data on that once in China and where I could, I used free wifi to save the same. I was away 4 weeks and after preloading it 100 yuan and choosing the second level data plan, I had lots of credit for calls and some leftover and I worked it daily in China.

I used the card to call Australia. I was in China 1 week and found the included credits sufficient. I would call home (oz) and they would ring back. It worked fine. I also used the card to make text messages in China, and toMake short local calls. The sim card did work in hong kong but said it was roaming so I avoided cslls but did amfew text messages. Overall for about $30 it was a bargin.
